The Berks County Zone 4 Tanker Task Force held a Drill and Station 1-1 participated with Engine 1-1-2. The drill started at Misty Lane, in Cumru Township, with Engine 1-1-2 drafting from the port-a-tanks. The Tanker shuttle fill site was established near the intersection of Chapel Hill Road & Mohns Hill Road with Engine 42 Cedar Top, & Engine 56-1 Gouglersville. The crew of Engine 1-1-2 split and relocated to operate the second fill site operation with crews from 3-14, Fivepoitville. In a little over 2 hours the units moved almost 140,000 gallons of water and maintained a flow of approximately 1,000 gallons per minute. After cleaning up equipment used and repacking hose loads Engine 2 & it's crew headed to Station 42 Cedar Top for Lunch and a review of the Training.

Later that evening 4 members relocated to Lancaster County Station 6-7, Rohrerstown to Staff Engine 6-7-1, while their Members participated in the 5th Annual fallen Firefighters Benefit for the evening.
